I have posted a couple of threads asking players what their favorite weapon or weapon catagory is. So, I thought I would post the opposite and collect some feedback from the community. So, what gun do you think is the most worthless in this game and why?

For the purposes of this discussion let's stick to the primary weapons only. Also, I would like to exclude the riot shield and combat knife from this list as well as they are the obvious answers.

Eh, I don't think there's any "worthless" weapon, but if I had to pick one that I don't use very much at all (and if you exclude any Perks and Attachments, except for built-in attachments), it would probably be the VKS Sniper Rifle for me. I just couldn't really get into it for some reason.

I'm a hardcore player. Kind of dig on the VKS. Still a OHK, and you get a free attachment.

It's a tough call. I've had at least SOME success with every gun in the game. They've done a pretty good job overall with the weapons imo. If I had to pick a worst it would have to be the Ameli. It has a lot of recoil, makes you walk slow and gets smoked in close quarters. I'm not hating on the Ameli, I've used it and it's not a bad gun, just the bottom of the list for me.

The title of your thread is "what is the worst weapon," and in your post you mentioned, "what is the most worthless weapon"? These are two different things.

Worst - Probably the VEPR, it doesn't have a clear advantage over any of the other SMG's and is real clunky to use.

Worthless - Before you say anything, I do not have a problem with shotguns. I do have a problem with the Bulldog. People can just spam the R trigger without even being accurate and rack up monumental kills. That's not how shotguns work.

Easily the worse weapon in the game is the PDW Pistol. Truly terrible gun. The VEPR isn't that bad..pop on a foregrip and Muzzle Brake and you'll melt. But if there is a bad gun...not much guns are "bad", minus the SVU Marksman Rifle. That is a completely terrible gun. Absolutely atrocious.

I don't understand why the VKS keeps popping up with people saying in HC mode?? Why would you use a sniper rifle in HC when the MR is a one hit kill and has perfect steady semi-auto firing? If you have 2-3 targets in standard maybe you can jump around or run away after the first kill with a sniper rifle while you reload but in HC if you run into 2-3 players you are going to die with a SR. BUT if you have a MR, you may live.

ANYWAY.... that's another discussion.

The worst to me other than obvious riot shield and any LMG because they are so underpowered for what a LMG really should be and have so much mobility restraint (no good quality at all) is the MTS shotgun or VEPR because you have to add attachments before they are worth crap. I dont want to deck out a gun just to get it equal to other gun's starting strength and range.

I play HC DOM mostly so each map is different. Most maps I do a MR, Sovereign and Strike Zone I do use the MTAR because of response time. The subtle differences between the guns are not so pronounced in HC.
